About fifty member and friends of the Jacksonlau club gathered at the club headquarters, sixteenth floor of the City National bank building, laat night for the memorial services In honor of the late John Power, former sheriff and promi nent member of the club. The eons"and daughter of the late Mr. Power were present by special Invitation at thla me morial meeting. Ed. P.. Smith gave a biographical review of Mr. Power's life, and Colonel C. O. Cunningham and Richard L. Metcalfe paid beautiful tri bute to the character of Mr. Power which they said was at once atrong enough to face the hardest battle, and tender enough to weep for the afflicted at all time. The following resolution of tribute waa adopted by the Jackson'an out of j respect for their deceased member: When, pear the hour of 9 o' lock a. m., January "Hi, our well beloved friend and fellow member. John Power, bowed to the final decree, death claimed one whose life book ia ao replete In good and righteous works; whose Influence waa ao valuahlo and whose example so Inspiring thst we scarce f'nd words more than to sincerely express the universal regret that he waa not permitted to serve out his allotted time. It la of common knowledge to all with whom he waa acquainted, that John Power was of sterling quality; that he waa a rugged, broad, superb type of American manhor.d; that he vu the soul of honor, clean, unselfish, loyal, patriotic, cauragoona, aymitliello, frank and genial; that he waa sn affectionate hus band and father, a staunch friend a wise rounsellor, an upright public otflclat, a progressive, generous, peace-loving Uod fearing cltlseji. With elrong, earnest and conscientious fldullty to duty. John Power met the car of official responsibilities In t' e same manner with which he discharged the de tail of his buainesa affairs, it wa In the office of sheriff that he earned and .deserved the title of "Honest John Power," and no on can truthfully point to a deliberate act of his official or un official life which would bring the pang of reproaolt to those most near and dear to him or cast a stain on his family escutcheon. Johi Power will be sadly missed from our counsels. The church, the lodge and the social realm In which he waa wont t i move, will bitterly deplore hi tak n awav: yet. In the larger aenae, the en nobling example of an earnest, unassum ing and honorable man aa exemplified by John Power, will linger with thein 1 1 the years to come. And, above the pallor of gloom which hover over th home which he haa so many years honored and loved; shove the sighs and tear of countlaaa friend of every avocation pmfeaaton, class an I rlan, the lustre of his helpful. wholnaom l ie snail shine as free aa "Hope great ' throbbing star above the darkness of the i dead.

Now, let us tell why such a condition exists under the older-day building system Some disappointed building owners In the past have blamed their architects; The Architect, however. Is not the one to blame: unless he attempted to guarantee that the building would not exceed the figure he gave, In which case he stepped beyond his province. The Architect's services,- even though they may be of the best, are simply professional or advisory. The owner cannot demand from the architect a guarantee covering the work In its entirety and the high class archi tect, who is a member of the American Institute of Archi tects, will not Klve any such assurance to the building owner because It Is a recognised fact within that body of professional men that the building business is too complex to permit any single individual to comprehen sively meeTt and solve all of the problems that are con- atantly arising In the building construction field. The answer to the above question, therefore, Is not hard to make. The principal reasons that so large a majority of buildings exceed the architect's estimate are: Flrste Because the average architect does not have the proper assistance In the shape of advisory services from building engineers, together with that ot an up-to-date estimating department, when preparing bis plans so as to enable him to give a price to the building owner that is based all the way through on conditions as they exist in the building field at the time plana are made; and. Second Because very frequently the building owner changes his mind, which In turn causes expensive changes In the building Itself, In which case, of course, no one can be blamed but the building owner himself. To provide a remedy for the decided weaknesses In the old-time architectural and building methods much is being done to revise the system of handling building operations. ! The building professions and trades are at the pre--enftlme engaged in the task of providing closer cc-opera-tlve methods between themselves new forms of con tracts are beiig devised and many other activities are apparent, all Vith the view of eliminating the ineffi ciency that has been the terror of the prospective new building owner In days gone by. ' The Modern Building Organization however, is the one modern device which has shown con clusively, after years of experience, that it Is capable of meeting the builders' expectations both from the view point of a satisfactory building and from the viewpoint ot a satisfactory cost price. The Bankers Realty Investment Company Is one of the many modern building organizations existing In the United States today that has demonstrated Its capacity t to meet the demand for better Building Methods. This Institution provides for Its customers the serv ices ot Architects, Estimating Engineers, General Con tractors, Material Purchasing Experts and Building Engineers and our Financial Department provides financial assistance to such of our customers as need it. The Banker Realty Invettment Company ii a firm that yoy can make retpontible at the very beginning for the eatitfaetory per formance of the entire work.
